Art and Fear . . .

I've joined librarything.com and am building "my library". It is a small library, since only a few books made the journey with me to Connecticut. It will grow.

One small book in my library, Art & Fear deals with one of my major blocks. We all know that place, when looking at the blank canvas, the blank sheet of paper, the uncut cloth, the lump of clay and even the stranger sitting next to us on the metro. Committing . . . to quote the authors, "It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing Free Will above predestination, choice above chance". What then, why not?
